2 TB Infection Diagnosis Recommendations September 20, 2017 Harlingen,Texas Talk Developed by Lisa Y. Armitige, MD, PhD Medical Consultant, Heartland National TB Center Associate Professor Internal Medicine/Pediatrics/Infectious Disease UT Health Northeast, Tyler, Texas Presented by Linda Dooley, MD TB Physician Austin Public Health Screening for Tuberculosis Along the US/Mexico Border San Antonio, Texas June 10, 2016 EXCELLENCE EXPERTISE INNOVATION TB INFECTION 2
3 TB EXPOSURE Your patient and someone who has active pulmonary TB have been sharing airspace CHARACTERIZING THE EXPOSURE Frequency and duration of exposure Dilution effect (volume of air) Ventilation Exposure to ultraviolet light AJCCRM. 2005: 170;
4 RISK OF TB TRANSMISSION AJCCRM. 2005: 170; TB INFECTION The TB organism has breached the barriers set up by the immune system and has caused infection Outcome of TB Infection Latent TB Infection (LTBI) (90%) No Active TB Disease Active TB Disease (10%) 50% Primary Progression in first 2 years 50% Reactivation later in life 4
5 Clinical Presentation of LTBI No symptoms or signs of infection Positive tuberculin skin test or IGRA Chest x ray may be normal, or show granulomata, pleural or parenchymal scarring NOT infectious LTBI ACTIVE TB DISEASE Recent infection HIV infection Chest x ray abnormality Underweight by >10% Intravenous drug use Immunosuppression ATS CDC. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2000;161:S221 5

7 LATENT TB INFECTION What s really happening? The bacteria that cause disease are dormant (metabolically inactive). For reasons that are not clear, they wake up and start to divide. OR Bacteria are metabolically active and dividing, but the infection is somehow controlled by the immune system. i.e. disease develops when immunity is somehow compromised TB Infection Diagnosis 7
8 Who Should be Tested for TB Infection? Targeted Testing for TB Infection The simplified version: Persons who are at increased risk for M. tuberculosis infection Persons at increased risk for progression to active disease if infected with M. tuberculosis (even if not at increased exposure risk) And those who tend to be tested in addition: Persons tested for administrative reasons (e.g., mandatory employment testing) Persons with symptoms of active TB disease (fever, night sweats, cough, and weight loss) Who Should be Tested for TB Infection? Targeted Testing for TB Infection Contacts of persons with active TB HIV positive individuals Recent immigrants (<5 yrs) from high prevalence countries Injection Drug Users Residents and Employees of high risk congregate settings: Correctional facilities and Homeless Shelters Hospitals, Clinics, Nursing Homes, Substance Abuse Facilities Newest Category: Patients considering treatment with TNF α Antagonists Children exposed to high risk adults or environments 8
9 Contacts of Active TB Case Among close contacts to a TB Case: 30% have TB Infection 1 3% have active TB disease Without TB Infection treatment: 10% with TB Infection with develop Active TB Approximately 5% of contacts with newly acquired TB Infection progress to TB disease within 2 years The other 5% activate > 2 years after acquisition Examination of contacts is one of the most effective strategies for TB Infection diagnosis and TB control!

12 Tests for Diagnosis of TB Infection TB Infection Diagnostics TB Skin Test (TST) Interferon Gamma Release Assays (IGRA) 12
13 TB Skin Test (TST) Uses Purified Protein Derivative (PPD) PPD is given via intradermal injection Read induration, not erythema, at hrs TB Skin Test (TST) Pros: Inexpensive Simple to perform (if you know what you are doing) Cons: Must return in hrs Interpretation is somewhat subjective False Negatives: Elderly Immunosuppressed False Positives: Low risk populations Non tuberculous mycobacteria BCG vaccination 13
14 Reading the TB Skin Test Measure induration, not erythema!!! 14
15 Induration of 5mm Considered a Positive TST HIV positive persons Recent contacts of TB cases Fibrotic Changes on CXR c/w prior TB Patients with organ transplants or other immunosuppression Prednisone therapy 15 mg/day > 1 month CDC. June 2000 Induration of 10mm Considered a Positive TST Recent arrivals (<5 yrs?) high prevalence countries IVDU Residents/employees high risk congregate facilities (health care, prisons, shelters, etc.) TB lab personnel Children < 4 years old or exposed to adults at risk Persons with high risk medical conditions CDC. June
16 Induration of 10mm Considered a Positive TST Persons with high risk medical conditions Silicosis Diabetes Chronic renal failure Hematologic disorders/leukemia/lymphoma Cancers, particularly head/neck and lung Low body weight less than 10% below ideal body weight Gastrectomy Jejunal bypass CDC. June 2000 Induration of 15mm Considered a Positive TST Persons with no risk factors (Why was a TST placed?) CDC. June
17 Interferon Gamma Release Assays (IGRAs) TST vs In vitro Assays Andersen et al. Lancet 2000;356:
18 Antigens Specific to M. tuberculosis Cole et al, Nature 1998 Ganguly et al, Tuberculosis (2008):88, Genetic Region of Difference 1 (RD 1) Not found in BCG or most NTM NTM exceptions: M. kansasii, M. szulgai, M. marinum Codes for 9 proteins Two proteins were found to produce strong immunologic responses in persons infected with M. tuberculosis 10 kda culture filtrate protein (CFP 10) 6 kda early secreted target antigen (ESAT 6) 18
19 Antigens for Newer Generation IGRAs Negative control or nil (e.g., saline, heparin) Positive control or mitogen: non specific immune response stimulator (e.g., phytohemagglutinin) M. tuberculosis specific antigens Unlike PPD used in TST, do not cross react with BCG or NTM (some exceptions) ESAT 6, CFP 10, TB 7.7 (actually simulated using overlapping peptides) Antigens for Gamma Release Assays 19
20 FDA Approved IGRAs QuantiFERON TB Gold In Tube (QFT GIT) Stage 1: Whole Blood Culture in special blood collection tubes Mtb* Nil PHA Collect 1mL of blood in 3 tubes Incubate at 37ºC for hours Centrifuge 5 minutes to separate plasma above gel Stage 2: Measure [IFN ] & Interpret Mtb COLOR Nil PHA TMB Collect 50 µl of plasma for ELISA Measure [ IFN ] in Sandwich ELISA Software calculates results and prints report *Mtb = ESAT 6 + CFP 10 + TB
21 T Spot.TB (T Spot) Collect blood in CPT tube Recover, wash, & count PBMCs Aliquot 250,000 PBMCs to 4 wells with anti IFN Add saline, PHA, ESAT 6 or CFP 10 & incubate Wash away cells Develop & count spots where cells produced IFN IFN Antibody Sensitized T cell IFN Captured Detection Antibody Chromogen Spot Saline ESAT 6 CFP 10 PHA What Result is Considered Positive? Depends on the test Based on calculation of IFN response to TB antigens relative to IFN response to nil Unlike TST, not risk stratified (i.e., there are not multiple cutoffs for different risk groups) Still somewhat complicated Software performs calculations 21
22 Nil (IU/mL) Interpretation Criteria for the QFT GIT Test TB Antigen minus Nil (IU/mL) QFT-GIT (IU/mL) Mitogen Interpretation or < 25% of Nil value Negative 5.0 M. tuberculosis infection unlikely and 25% of Nil value Positive ANY M. tuberculosis infection likely 8.0 ANY Indeterminate ANY Indeterminate and or < 25% of Nil value Indeterminate < 5.0 Indeterminate QuantiFERON TB Gold Mori et al 2004 Am J Respir Crit Care Med,170:
23 Interpretation Criteria for the T Spot.TB Result Nil* TB Response# # Mitogen++ Interpretation+ Positive 10 spots 8 spots Any M.tuberculosis infection likely Borderline 10 spots 5, 6, or 7 spots Any Uncertain likelihood of M. tuberculosis infection Negative 10spots 4 spots M Tb infection unlikely Indeterminate > Any < 5 spots Any < 20 spots Uncertain likelihood of M. tuberculosis infection T Spot.TB 23
24 Indeterminate and Borderline Results Indeterminate Negative control result is too high High background production of IFN Positive control result is too low Immunocompromised patients may not respond to mitogen Borderline (T Spot only) Falls within borderline zone close to negative/positive cut point CDC Guidelines 24
25 Recommendations 25
26 CDC Recommendations TST or IGRAs should be used as aids in diagnosing infection with M. tuberculosis Both the standard qualitative test interpretation and the quantitative assay measurements should be reported As with the TST, IGRAs generally should not be used for testing persons who have a low risk of infection and a low risk of disease due to M. tuberculosis CDC Recommendations Populations/situations in which IGRAs are preferred testing persons from groups that historically have poor rates of return for TST reading testing persons who have received BCG (as a vaccine or for cancer therapy) 26
27 CDC Recommendations Populations/situations in which TST is preferred testing children younger than 5 years old IGRAs and the 2015 AAP RED BOOK Can use IGRAs in immunocompetent children > 4 years of age in all situations when a TST would be used Preferred test for children 5 years and older who have received a BCG vaccination Data shows IGRAs perform consistent well in children 5 years and older, some experts use down to 3 y/o Neither IGRAs nor the TST are perfect; always need clinical judgment! 27
28 AAP RedBook 2015 CDC Recommendations Populations/situations in which there is no preference between IGRAs and TST testing recent contacts of persons with infectious tuberculosis periodic screening that addresses occupational exposure to TB (e.g., surveillance programs for healthcare workers) 28
29 CDC Recommendations Routine testing with both TST and an IGRA is not recommended Results from both tests may be useful when the initial test is negative if increased sensitivity is desired (considered infected if either test is positive) risk of infection, the risk of progression, and the risk of a poor outcome are increased clinical suspicion of active tuberculosis and confirmation of M. tuberculosis infection is desired Results from both tests may be useful when the initial test is positive if increased specificity is desired (considered infected only if both tests are positive) additional evidence of infection is required to encourage compliance (such as in foreignborn healthcare workers who believe their positive TST is due to BCG) in healthy persons who have a low risk of both infection and progression CDC Recommendations Repeating an IGRA or performing a TST may be useful when the initial IGRA result is indeterminate, borderline, or invalid, and a reason for testing persists 29
30 CDC Recommendations A diagnosis of M. tuberculosis infection, and the decisions about medical or public health management should include epidemiological, historical, and other clinical information when using IGRA or TST results Decisions should not be based on IGRA or TST results alone Particularly relevant for managing discordant test results (e.g., TST+/QFT ) Sources of variability for QFT GIT Clin. Microbiol. Rev. 2014, 27(1):
31 Pearls for TST vs. IGRAs Discordance between the TST and IGRAs has been measured up to 20% in patients known to be infected with Mtb. Don t order both tests, pick the right test to start with! Who are you testing? IGRAs shine when used in BCG vaccinated populations (increased specificity) NO study has shown the IGRA to be better in US born (or non BCGvaccinated) individuals. The TST can be used AND trusted in this population No test (TST or IGRA) overrides clinical, epidemiologic or historical data Testing is good and necessary! But is it funded..? 31
